Description requested a tutorial on making my animated icons. So I tried my best. (You’ll need to download it).
A little background here.
If you want some tips on making an pixel icon, try this tutorial: [link]

Also, please ignore the crummy add on the bottom right corner…It’s a trail program that I used to make this tutorial (but a REALLY awesome one!).
Finished product can be found here: [link]

Hope it works for you all, and I hope you enjoy!

(P.S If it does help, please comment for fav !!)

Hum...It works fine for me. Rather than just clicking the download link, right-click it and select "Save download link as" and that might do ithelp. If it doesn't, I'll upload it onto a different service for you. :3

Here you go: [link]
That should play it automatically, or you can download it. If you download it, right-click it and open it in your preferred internet browser and it should play. :3 Hope that works and helps!

Try opening it in Windows Explorer or firefox. Your Internet browser should play it if it has current flash updates.

You'll want to make it with as few frames possible, and/or mess with the output settings on Imageready.

It's a flash file, so you'll want to open it in your internet browser to get it working (Plus you need flash installed) Let me know if that works. :3

kewl idea mate... I'm not going to take a peek though until I have a decent connection otherwise I won't see how it was meant to be seen as I'll just see it all jerky due to my connection.

I promise that I'll use this program for my long awaited tutorial though
